A New Take For the Potato Chip Block!

I saw this version of the quilt on a Facebook post and really like using the white.  I did change it up a bit and used  4 1/2 x 4 1/2 squares to buiod on instead of sewing 2 1'/2 x 4 1/2 strips together.  It went really fast.  I had literally taken 3 bags of random left5oers from other quiots that I had made into 2 1/2 strips and cut them into 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 lengths (I use the longer ones for another quilt I made).  They are really random scraps.  All these baby quilts I have made are 40 inches by 40 inches as that is what is required for the club's neonatal quilts.

This is the backing fabric!

This is the beginning of a more controlled version using just blues and greens.  I am liking this but am actually beginning to run out of strips!!  I will have enough for this quilt but not sure if there is enough for others and I don't have enough of any other colors from these random leftovers.  May actually have to go into my color sorted bags of strips to cut up some more!!!  These were literally made from leftovers from other quilts that Ihad gathered up in overfull bags!

 

Lots of New Baby Quilts!

 

I have been very busy making kits of quilts for donation.  These are the baby quilts, all of which I put interesting backs on as well.  They are basically I Spy quilts utilizing all those interesting prints I have cut from leftover backs of other quilts I have made!

This is the same kind as the above one.  Making good use of all those 2 inch strips as sewing three of them together 

I also have a ton of strips that I cut from black and white fabric.  I have an abundance of these fabrics as I used to overdye them.

I also use by 2 in strips to make the little 4 patches.  I am actually beginning to fun out of yellow two inch strips!!

Would you believe that the little blocks with the squares in the middle are made from leftovers of the strip sets used in the quilts above!  I actually like this design better as I think it shows off the blocks better!

These next three are some of the backs.

This was a much laarger quilt that I made for Handmade with Love,,  It had never ocurred to m that I didn't ned to sew to pieces of fabric together lengthwise to get a piece wide enough for a wider quilt.  You could have the seam vertically as the quilt police don't judge charity quilts..  That saves a lot of fabric and now I don't fear wide quilts except for the basting.
